Product Information

Full details

The PetrolScooter Plastic Reducer Bushes are essential components for anyone looking to adapt wheel axle sizes on sack trucks and trolleys. Designed for DIY enthusiasts and maintenance professionals, these bushes allow a 35mm axle bore to securely fit a 12mm axle, providing a cost-effective solution for wheel replacement. While these durable plastic parts are built to last, users should ensure they are not exceeding the weight capacity of their trolley frame when performing repairs.

FAQs

Are these bushes sold as a pair?

Yes, each set includes two plastic reducer bushes.

What are the exact dimensions?

The inner diameter is 12mm, the outer diameter is 35mm, the total width is 17.4mm, and the central hole length is 22mm.

Can I use these for a wheelbarrow?

If the wheelbarrow has a 35mm hub and a 12mm axle, these will work; however, check the weight rating of your wheelbarrow first.

Is any lubrication required?

While not strictly mandatory, applying a light coating of lithium grease is recommended to reduce friction and extend the life of the plastic.

Will these rust?

No, as they are manufactured from durable, premium-quality plastic, they are immune to rust and corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Bush is too tight to fit into the wheel hub

Gently sand the outer surface of the bush with fine-grit sandpaper or use a rubber mallet to press it in evenly.

Wheel wobbles after installation

Verify that the axle retaining nut is tightened properly and that the bush is fully seated inside the hub.

Bush cracks during installation

Avoid using metal hammers. Ensure the hole is not obstructed by debris or sharp metal edges from the axle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Cost-effective alternative to buying new wheels
  • High-strength plastic prevents vibration and wear
  • Easy installation without specialized tools
  • Universal fit for standard sack truck and trolley axles

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-speed industrial machinery
  • Plastic material may wear over time if improperly lubricated
  • Limited to specific 35mm to 12mm conversions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply slide the bush into the wheel hub. If the fit is tight, a light tap with a rubber mallet is recommended to avoid damaging the plastic. Ensure the inner diameter is aligned correctly with the axle before tightening any retaining nuts or split pins. For maintenance, it is recommended to apply a small amount of grease to the inner surface of the bush to reduce friction and prevent heat buildup during extended use. Check the bushes periodically for signs of thinning or cracks, especially if the trolley is regularly used under maximum load.
